Context: Consuming antioxidant-rich foods has been associated with potential benefits in managing chronic diseases by reducing oxidative stress and inflammation.
Objective: This systematic review aimed to evaluate the effects of Aronia melanocarpa (aronia berry or chokeberry) on human inflammation biomarkers and antioxidant enzymes.
Data Sources: A systematic search was conducted across multiple databases, including PubMed, Scopus, Science Direct, and Web of Science, to identify relevant studies investigating the potential effects of aronia on human inflammation biomarkers and antioxidant enzymes between April 2022 and November 2023.
Article Synopsis
- Different functional foods, particularly whey proteins, are being studied for their potential benefits in managing Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD) due to their bioactive nutrients.
- In a study with male Wistar rats, it was found that whey protein supplementation did not significantly affect body weight but reduced abdominal circumference and overall liver damage in rats consuming a high fat-high fructose diet.
- The results suggest that whey protein may help improve liver health by lowering liver damage scores and increasing specific protein expression in the intestines, although it had no impact on certain inflammation markers related to liver health.
